Manage episode 283936831 series 1269047
This week Peter deGraft-Johnson (The Repeat Beat Poet) speaks to Hip Hop artist and former Sheffield Poet Laureate, Otis Mensah. They discuss how the concept of introspective documentarianism underpins Otis' work of building a personal identity and creative voice around artistic truth and vulnerability, through rap and poetry. There's also talk of surviving and decrying racial capitalism, and a breakdown of Otis' tenure as laureate.
Otis reads three poems -
17:12 - Contrary To The Intangible Grapevine
35:25 - The Thinks
1:00:00 - No Record Store Day
